I have been railing again and again against those who blame "greed' for the subprime crash (including members of both parties, and, sadly, both major presidential candidates). Well, I have some high level confirmation that it all isn't just in my head. This time not a pundit or RNC spokesman, but
Jim DeMint, who actually argues the same point I have been making.
No witty text here, just an excuse to link an article that confirms my opinions. (And an excuse to link some of my old articles.)
Here are the articles in which I have argued against this absurd interpretation (along with a few links on the problem in general):
And you got rich?
Greed
Greed Part 2
Laughable Talk About the Bailout
A Short Question
The Excuse Making Begins
More Bad Excuses
More Bad Excuses II
Well, It Was Bound to Happen...
Repeating the Errors of FDR
One More Senseless Defense
Doing Nothing
A Question
Economic Question
How Does That Work?
See, I not only provide intemperate rants, but links to more sober people who say the same thing. (Well, have yet to find anyone in politics willing to
argue against licensing of physicians and regulation prescription phramaceuticals, but I keep looking. After all,
federalism only became really fashionable again very recently.)
